Answer

$${\text{sin}}\theta = \frac{{12}}{{13}},{\text{ }}\cos \theta = \frac{5}{{13}},{\text{ }}\tan \theta = \frac{{12}}{5},{\text{ }}\cot \theta = \frac{5}{{12}},{\text{ }}\csc \theta = \frac{{13}}{{12}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \theta = {\sec ^{ - 1}}2.6 \cr & {\text{Write 2}}{\text{.6 as }}\frac{{13}}{5} \cr & \theta = {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{13}}{5}} \right) \cr & {\text{From the triangle shown below,}} \cr & \sec \theta = \frac{{13}}{5} \Rightarrow \theta = {\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{13}}{5}} \right) \cr & {\text{Therefore,}} \cr & {\text{sin}}\theta = \frac{{12}}{{13}} \cr & \cos \theta = \frac{5}{{13}} \cr & \tan \theta = \frac{{12}}{5} \cr & \cot \theta = \frac{1}{{\tan \theta }} = \frac{5}{{12}} \cr & \csc \theta = \frac{1}{{\sin \theta }} = \frac{{13}}{{12}} \cr} $$
